Here's the PV ultimatemegax mentioned few posts back (starts around 35 seconds in)

so wktk~!!

That's the one revealed first at Winter Comiket and then on the official site last December. I'm referring to the one that came with the first season's BD-Box that was released last week. I've viewed it on my copy and it adds some extra animation and lengthens certain scenes for an extra 15 seconds. Otherwise, it's the exact same PV.

When this spin-off was annouced, I have seen some people said something like

- A spin-off? All of my interest lost. I want the sequel to first series.
- Saki with no Saki? I will pass

So, I decide to make this guide and FAQ to tell what you’ll see and what you can expect from this spin-off. Of course, It will contain a little spoiler ( I will keep it as minimum as possible.)

FAQ

1. Why don’t they make the second season?

Mostly because a lack of sufficient content from manga. First season use about 50+ chapters of manga + original content for last 5 eps. Currently (13 March 2012), the manga is at ch.93, but most of them are shorter and progress slower than first 50 chs. We need to wait for a while before the second season can come out.

2. You said original series lack of content to make anime, then how do they have enough content to make anime out of this spin-off? I heard that it’s only has 8 chapters right now.

Each Achiga-hen chapter has about ~50-80+ pages compared to ~15-20 pages per ch. in Saki. Plus, they can always add it original content. Also, it is possible that Achiga-hen will have only 12-13 eps

Guide

Warning: answers are little spoiler, mostly about what you will see in this spin-off but not in details I will put answer in spoiler anyway...

1.Will characters from Saki appear in Achiga-hen?

Spoiler:

Yes. Saki and Nodoka as well as members of other school in Saki will appear in this spin-off.

2. Does story in Achiga-hen happened before the event in Saki? That’s what I get from reading the synopsis.

Spoiler:

Time flows quite fast in Achiga-hen. The story begin at the time when Nodoka and main characters in Achiga-hen were in elementary school, but as story progress Achiga-hen story will get to the point where Saki anime end (Saki’s team win prefecture round) and will go even farther than that.

3. From Q2,

Spoiler:

you said that the story will go farther than the end of Saki anime? Does it mean that I will get a spoiler from a possible-to-come-out Saki ss2 if I watch this?]

Answer to #3

Spoiler:

No, Author makes sure that none of important content from Saki will be revealed in Achiga-hen.

4. What is the “Hightlight” in Achiga-hen

Spoiler:

A game with Miyanaga Teru and her team (Shiratodai high school)

5. Are there new yuri pair to worship?
Yes.

Note: The answers here are based on manga version. Anime may chage or add something.

Well, that gives them the proper excuse to include Season 1 characters. So, that eliminates my concern regarding the idea that Nodoka and Saki didn't meet until high school.

Though, they better not touch into the Nationals here. This section needs a full series.
